Probability
Two cards are drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that either both are black or both are queen?
A.4/26 B.55/221 C.56/221 D.55/220
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- Probability of taking 2 from 52 cards = 52C2 = 52 * 51/2*1 = 1326
There r 26 black cards
There r 4 queens
prob that both r black cards P(A)= 26C2/1326 = 26 * 25/2 * 1 = 325/1326
prob that both r queens P(B)= 4C2/1326 = 4 * 3/2 * 1 = 6/1326
P(A n B) = 2C2/1326 = 1/1326
P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B) = 325/1326 + 6/1326 - 1/1326
=> 55/221

- Probability of taking 2 from 52 cards = 52C2 = 52 * 51/2*1 = 1326
There r 26 black cardsĀ
There r 4 queens
prob that both r black cards P(A)= 26C2/1326 = 26 * 25/2 * 1 = 325/1326
prob that both r queens P(B)= 4C2/1326 = 4 * 3/2 * 1 = 6/1326
P(A n B) = 2C2/1326 = 1/1326
P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B) = 325/1326 + 6/1326 - 1/1326
=> 55/221
